"We are delighted about our new collaboration between Credo and YBP," said Mark Kendall, Senior Vice President of Sales at YBP. "Our mutual goal is to leverage the unique combination of assets and capabilities between our organizations to create for libraries a unique and comprehensive suite of collection development and workflow solutions."

The Credo titles are thoughtfully selected to offer broad coverage of subjects such as religion, psychology, history, business, education, environmental studies, nursing and much more. Libraries will have the option to select pre-packaged Credo Reference collections or individual titles for purchase. Purchasing libraries can also get content delivered via Credo's award-winning flagship platform Credo Online Reference Service, or via Literati by Credo, which includes information literacy tools and services.

"At Credo we are constantly soliciting feedback from our librarians about how to make it easier to support collection management - especially in terms of purchasing options," said Carol Helton, Vice President of Global Sales and Marketing for Credo Reference. "We are very pleased that our new partnership will offer new options and remove hurdles for our customers."

Credo Reference collections and titles will be available on GOBI summer 2012.
